My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bear and Chance came into the shelter together. They're around 1.5 years old, and weigh between 50-55 pounds. They're both heartworm negative, neutered, and vaccinated with Distemper, Bordatella, and Rabies. They are both very friendly, rambunctious, and confident boys. They love playing with each other, and they have gotten along with all the other dogs at the shelter that they've been introduced to. They love attention, and will wake up from a nap to come running for pets as soon as they hear someone coming. These sweet, energetic boys are ready for their own families to run and play with.

Pay Fee

If you're ready to adopt the pet after meeting them, you will pay a $65 fee for a cat/kitten or $100 fee for puppy/dog.

Most of our animals are fully vaccinated and spayed/neutered, so they just need microchipped at the shelter to be ready to take home.

Additional adoption info

If you are interested in adopting an animal, please contact the Wabash County Animal Shelter at wabashcountybuddies@outlook.com to receive an adoption screening form. An approved adoption screening form is the first step in adopting any of our shelter animals. Once we receive your application, we will look over it and check your references. If everything looks good, we will let you know that your application is approved. We may contact you for more information about any part of your application if we feel something is unclear or we have a concern. Should your application be denied, you will be given an explanation. We're happy to adopt locally or out of state. Adoption fees for dogs/ puppies are $100 and $65 for cats/kittens. Most of our animals are already spayed/neutered and fully vaccinated. If they aren't already, we'll work with you to get the animal spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped as part of the adoption process.

More about this shelter

We are a county shelter run by a group of very dedicated, unpaid volunteers called the Wabash County Animal Shelter Buddies (WCASB). Wabash County Animal Shelter is licensed by the State of Illinois Department of Agriculture. WCASB is 501c3. The WCASB helps coordinate adoption and rescue of dogs and cats from the Wabash County Animal Shelter to adopters and rescues near and far.
